New Head of Evaluation II

As of 1 September, Claudio Carlon has taken up his position as the new Head of Unit for Evaluation II (E2). He is Italian and holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry. He has over 15 years experience in the field of risk assessment of chemicals. He started his career at university and in a research and consultancy organisation where he coordinated the risk assessment team.

Then he moved to the European Commission JRC in Ispra to work on the EU harmonisation of risk assessment of soil contaminants, and later on REACH implementation. Mr Carlon joined ECHA from the very beginning in September 2007 and before the new appointment was team leader in the Directorate for Evaluation.
